2 इतिहास 19:7

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.

During tough times, we need a faith that works. In this new series, Pastor Rick teaches through the Bible to help you move toward a deep and genuine faith in God and to show you how faith is something you do. This reading plan selection is Part 1 of a five-part series.

What battle is waging in your life right now? Is it a battle for your health, marriage, children, job, or mental wellbeing? In this plan, we’ll learn from the mistakes and victories of Israel’s King Jehoshaphat and how you can apply those lessons to any trial you’re facing. You’ll see how praising God in the thick of the battle leads to ultimate victory!

Tales of triumph and tragedy are seen in the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. The history of Kings of Israel and Judah is a story of divine faithfulness despite human failure. These flawed rulers point us towards the one true faithful King. Part II covers Rehoboam through to Joash from Judah and Ahab from Israel.
